If you want to know the answer, check out Data Smart[1] It's a book about doing data science using Excel, until it doesn't make sense using Excel anymore. KMeans, Naive Bayes, Regression, etc. all in Excel, without totally abusing

Have you done pair programming before? Especially as you become more senior, the pressure to not look like an idiot in front of junior devs adds up fast. You have to learn, quickly, how to get over that kind of inner monologue, and just get

The French is a hurdle, but otherwise it is a nice place. Decent tech community there too.

I honestly don't want to come off like that, but if 2 vs 4 lbs is someone's primary concern then it sounds like a great laptop.

Shit... Just one will start to put strain on the system. If I'm developing an iOS/Android frontend in osx with Xamarin Studio and an asp.net backend with Visual Studio, then 16gb just won't do.

Not sure how to say this without sounding offensive, but that seems you're very finicky, have some extreme environmental/situational requirements or like you have a medical condition resulting in serious physical weakness. Your bo

No, because the status quo is to not share your information.

Sorry for the late response, but yes that's basically what we would do. They could then go with their own engineers or another firm to do the update.

Just found out about CloudRail now, looks awesome! 1. Is Xamarin support on the radar at all? That would allow me to integrate apps on multiple device platforms and multiple services all with one library. That's a pretty compelling cas

The burden of having to know everything about it, is precisely what gets in your way. Granted, I use an actual tool (sourcetree) that abstracts away the BS that is the git commandline. This idea that 'if you don't like the tool, i

Unfortunately, you are mistaken. Minimum wage for tipping jobs is much less than normal, in all of the 4 provinces I've lived in (AB, SK, ON, QC).

Don't know Scala but why wouldn't it be a.append(l).append(b) ?

I'm not saying anything about you here, but I feel like this is what a typical engineer would like to believe to make themselves feel better, but getting things done faster leaves more time for doing them better. Once you're at th

Agreed. It may not be technically good, but it's as good as the door locks that hundreds of millions of people rely on to protect their homes every day. Most home doors/deadbolts are easily pickable with a few weeks' practice

Based on my (admittedly sesame street) understanding, DX12 wasn't a 'slight' perf improvement over DX11 (which was already industry-leading) but drastic one.

VS integration was recently re-written and re-released. I still use XS, but I hear the VS integration is now pretty solid.

I've been in a situation that could have been described exactly that way, and in my case it was the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

And, if I recall, MKL is included in Microsoft R Open (previously, Revolution R Open). At least, that's what the instructions here[1] lead me to believe. [1] https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/documents/rro/

That's an opinion that not everyone holds, and doesn't necessarily hold for all sorts of people/positions. If you do design-heavy types of work, then it makes a lot of sense to heavily optimize for the format. If not, then th

If your job is the type where you're on the same team/project for years on end doing basically more of the same thing from month to month, then I can understand why you wouldn't necessarily see the value in this kind of tool.
